Imam Khomeini International Airport has resumed international flight operations, according to reports by Press TV. The restart marks a key step toward normal travel activity after a period of disruption.
The first outbound flights have departed for Medina, Muscat, and Istanbul. These destinations are among the most common regional routes, often used for religious travel, business trips, and tourism. Aviation officials have said more flights will be added gradually as operations return to full capacity.
The airport, located near Tehran, is the country’s main hub for international travel. It handles millions of passengers each year and connects Iran to key cities across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. The reopening of flight services is expected to ease travel for both citizens and foreign visitors.
Experts say the resumption of flights will also support trade and economic activity. Air travel plays an important role in cargo movement, business links, and tourism revenue. A steady increase in flights could help restore confidence in the aviation sector.
Authorities are likely to monitor passenger flow and adjust schedules based on demand. For now, the restart is being seen as a positive sign of recovery in international travel.
